Gizmo7 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Outstanding There's only Theo there who still plays Premier League football, after you take in to account Richards and Sinclair are now at Championship Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Did they not think Rooney would still be about by then? Tbf it's easy to laugh but it's virtually impossible to predict these things. Somebody bump up the old thread where we all tried to predict WC18 (I think) teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhikapp Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Who the hell is Robbie Threlfall? Tbf, hindsight is a beautiful thing. No one would have predicted Jamie Vardy, Dele Alli, or Marcus Rashford to make the squad last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispypaul Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Jose Baxter old FM favourite. Maybe not so much now.... On 16 May 2015, Baxter was suspended by Sheffield United after failing a drugs test.[18] In July, the FA handed him a five-month suspension (three of which suspended) for testing positive for ecstasy, which he claimed was ingested in a spiked drink.[19] He was suspended by his club again in February 2016 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Dan Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I remember posting on a bulletin board at the age of 18 with complete conviction that John Curtis would be an England regular, probably captain, within a few years and for the rest of his career.

YOUNGSTEVE Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I remember posting on a bulletin board at the age of 18 with complete conviction that John Curtis would be an England regular, probably captain, within a few years and for the rest of his career. Should've listened to the replies. To be fair you were not alone in that assessment. There were many people in football who thought the same at one time. He just came on the scene after the class of 92, & was thought to be the next one to make the breakthrough, which never came. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afced7 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Didn't Sam Hutchinson retire for a while due to his rotten luck with injury? He did. Started coaching at Chelsea after he retired, then his knee just got better and he signed a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccircle Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Wasn't there a thread on the football site where people picked their teams 5 years down the line. Was that thread 5 years ago, as couldn't find it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafParrot Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Threlfall Was never going to be close to good enough for England. Bit of a shame he's not in football at all though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
git2thachoppa Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 And Paul Jewell would be the manager. I remember 'Football Magic', the one with the big red binders with bits about every club, from 1999/2000. They did a future England XI and guys like Lampard, Joe Cole and Carrick were in there, as well as guys like Nicky Weaver and Michael Ball. Don't know if that's incredible luck or if they have a good eye. You can name an XI for just 6 years, managed by someone current like Alan Pardew, and it'll either be the 2016 squad who're under 27 or some of them mixed with young uncapped players who've had a good start like Antonio or Lingard. Either way, quite a few of them won't even be in the squad. It doesn't take into account players who aren't even professional yet. Watch in Qatar as young real life regen Robbie Cole scores the goals and Heineken Gascoigne stops them. Then take into account the manager. If Roy stays, or someone like him is in charge next, there's no chance guys like Pickford, Tomkins or Adam Smith are going to earn one cap unless Man Utd or Arsenal buys them.
